Teen’s Horse Brutally Stabbed 15+ Times

West London, England – 16-year-old Angel Reed was ‘hysterical’ and ‘distraught’ when she discovered her 25-year-old horse, Izzy, had been stabbed and slashed over 15 times. Police believe someone broke into the barn and attacked the horse during the night.

“She’s got about 30 wounds – the biggest is three to four inches long. You can see slices and stab wounds right across her face,” Ms Reed’s mother said. “She’s 25 and we were worried the shock would have killed her.”

“She is the oldest pony on the yard and very friendly. She was attacked by a vile person who had stabbed her 15 times, including straight down her face and backs of her ears. She also has whelp marks to what look like have been from slashes of barbwire but not to know [sic] for certain. Her body is swollen from the beatings she took,” Ashleigh Brooks, Ms Reed’s friend, said. “This disgusting person has to be found. She’s had the vet out twice and is being treated and police are involved.”

A Facebook post asking the public to help find the attacker has gone viral, and police are investigating the attack as animal cruelty.
